self inducing labour

Tips on how to induce labour? What do you think worked for you?

Have you asked your doctor about stripping your membranes?

Quoting stephaniemichelehansen:" Tips on how to induce labour? What do you think worked for you?"

not a good question to ask on here

Pitocin worked for me.

I wish I'd had the chance to moan and groan about the last bit of pregnancy.

Baby will come when baby is ready. They medically induce for a reason... Cause its dangerous to do it at home... Sorry mamma, I just don't think anything works.

I had a lot of sex. Went for long walks, even took countless walks up and down my stairs. I went into labor the following day.

She was due yesterday so unless she gets outrageous, she should be fine, right? lol.

OP, walking, sex, nipple stimulation, ummmm idk what else, lol

Ooh, spicy food too!!

she is one day over due. pay attention. she could be trying to avoid a c section. and she didnt specify she was willing to do ANYTHING. there are lots of natural induction methods


nipple stimulation
SEX
walking up and down stairs.
when you walk do a half lunge while you do it helps with dilation and the baby getting into the proper station

but seriously. sex sex sex

  Exactly! It isn't like OP is 30 weeks pregnant asking.

If she wasn't due yet maybe but not since she was due yesterday. OP try walking, squats and sex. Try not to get too stressed though or it could postpone labor, take a nice relaxing bath and have some you time before baby gets here!

didn't say I thought anything was wrong with it but everytime I see somebody post this I see them get cursed out

Quoting Aden & Emily's Mommy:" didn't say I thought anything was wrong with it but everytime I see somebody post this I see them get cursed out"

That's because a lot of people post stuff like this at 35-37 weeks pregnant.

walk walk walk walk
sex

i hear of evening primrose oil(sp) not sure what it is, i never even researched it lol

I had my membranes stripped 2 days ago without asking my doctor, she suggested it and said that i should go into labour anyday since i was 2cms and 70%. Obviously im just looking for suggestions to help with the dialation... I would never do anything dangerous to my baby just to meet her sooner..

Usually they get 'cursed' because those posters say they want to induce at 34 weeks NATURALLY, and their doc's approve. So they are asking for ideas on how to induce labor while baby is still a preemie.


There is a huge difference between those posts, and this one!

Exactly!! And women saying they'll do anything, like ingesting castor oil, which can be dangerous (or just gross and have no effect).
